When asked to think of the best memory I have, I can’t help but think back to December 23, 2014. That night, my brothers, Joshua and Isaiah Deal, came over to celebrate our last Christmas together for a while. The night was filled with lots of laughs, fun, and definite bonding.
Our perfect night was hit by tragedy when we got a phone call at 2 AM saying that my brothers had been involved in a car accident. They were hit by a drunk driver who ran the red light.
Isaiah, Josh, and Josh’s girlfriend, Shannon, all died that night. Since then, Christmas has had a much stronger meaning to us. We no longer mourn for we wish to celebrate their beautiful lives.
I love you, Josh and Isaiah. Till we meet again ❤
